PROVIDED IN THIS A&R OPTION AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS AND EXTEND NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY MODERNA TECHNOLOGY, PRODUCT
CANDIDATES, OR MATERIALS, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY PATENTS, TITLE, QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, PERFORMANCE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY PATENTS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. 
 12.5    No Consequential Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS A&R OPTION AGREEMENT,
EXCEPT FOR DAMAGES DUE TO THE FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE LIABLE PARTY, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER OR ANY THIRD PARTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS A&R OPTION AGREEMENT FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INFORMED OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED THAT THIS SECTION 12.5 WILL NOT APPLY TO THE PARTIES’ INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE A&R
SERVICES AND COLLABORATION AGREEMENT. 
 12.6    Indemnification. 

(a)    Indemnification by AstraZeneca. AstraZeneca will indemnify Moderna, its Affiliates and their respective
directors, officers, employees, Third Party licensors under the Existing In-License Agreements and agents, and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (collectively, “Moderna
Indemnitees”), and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) in
connection with any and all suits, investigations, claims or demands of Third Parties (collectively, “Third Party Claims”) arising from or occurring as a result of: [***], except in each case for those Losses for which Moderna
has an obligation to indemnify AstraZeneca pursuant to Section 12.6(b), the A&R Services and Collaboration Agreement or the Original Agreements (or would have had such Third Party Claim been made against AstraZeneca), as to which Losses
each Party will indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability; provided, however, that AstraZeneca will not be obligated to indemnify Moderna Indemnitees for any Losses to the extent that such Losses arise as a result of
gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of a Moderna Indemnitee. 
 (b)    Indemnification by Moderna.
Moderna will indemnify AstraZeneca, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (collectively, “AstraZeneca Indemnitees”), and defend and
save each of them harmless, from and against any and all Losses in connection with any and all Third Party Claims arising from or occurring as a result of: [***], except in each case for those Losses for which AstraZeneca has an obligation to
indemnify Moderna pursuant to Section 12.6(a), the A&R Services and Collaboration Agreement or the Original Agreements (or would have had such Third Party Claim been made against Moderna), as to which Losses each Party will indemnify the

be obligated to indemnify AstraZeneca Indemnitees for any Losses to the extent that such Losses arise as a result of (1) gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an AstraZeneca
Indemnitee or (2) [***]. 
 (c)    Notice of Claim. All indemnification claims provided for in
Section 12.6(a) and 12.6(b) will be made solely by such Party to this A&R Option Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”). The Indemnified Party will promptly notify the indemnifying Party (an “Indemnification Claim
Notice”) of any Losses or the discovery of any fact upon which the Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 12.6(a) or 12.6(b), but in no event will the indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses
that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and estimated amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such
time). The Indemnified Party will furnish promptly to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses and Third Party Claims. 

(d)    Defense, Settlement, Cooperation and Expenses. 

(i)    Control of Defense. At its option, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by
giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within [***] days after the indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party will not be construed as
an acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor will it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified
Party’s claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party (the
indemnifying Party will consult with the Indemnified Party with respect to a possible conflict of interest of such counsel retained by the indemnifying Party). In the event the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party will immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the indemnifying Party assume the
defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 12.6(d)(ii), the indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal costs or expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the
analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim. [***] 
 (ii)    Right to Participate in Defense.
Without limiting Section 12.6(d)(i), any Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment
will be at the Indemnified Party’s own cost and expense unless [***]. 
 (iii)    Settlement. With respect
to any Third Party Claims that relate solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the Indemnified Party’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely
affecting the business of the Indemnified Party in any manner, and as to which the indemnifying Party will have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, the

indemnifying Party will have the sole right to agree to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the indemnifying Party, in its
sole discretion, will deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 12.6(d)(i), the
indemnifying Party will have authority to agree to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss provided it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned). The indemnifying Party will not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Loss by an Indemnified Party that is reached without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether
the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party will admit any liability with respect to or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the
indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. 

(iv)    Cooperation. If the indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party will, and will cause each other Indemnified Party to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and will furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery
proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation will include access during normal business hours afforded to indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party
of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnified Parties and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any
material provided hereunder, and the indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection
therewith. 
 (v)    Costs and Expenses. Except as provided above in this Section 12.6(d), the reasonable
and verifiable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any claim will be reimbursed on a Calendar Quarter basis by the indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the
indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party. 

 

	13.	 Term and Termination. 



13.1    Option Agreement Term. This A&R Option Agreement will commence as of the Amendment Effective Date and on
such date will replace and supersede the Original Option Agreement in its entirety; provided that [***]. The term of this A&R Option Agreement, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof or by mutual written consent, will be
deemed to have commenced on the Signing Date and will continue until the entire Exercise Price for each Optioned Product Candidate (and associated Development Pool Candidates) is paid in full (the “Option Agreement Term”). 

13.2    Termination by Moderna. Moderna will have the right to terminate this A&R Option Agreement in full upon
delivery of written notice to AstraZeneca in the event of any material breach by AstraZeneca of any terms and conditions of this A&R Option Agreement [***],

 A&R OPTION AGREEMENT 

 

 
provided, that to the extent that any such breach is limited to Collaboration mRNA Constructs [***] a particular Research Polypeptide or Development Polypeptide, Moderna will have the
right to terminate this A&R Option Agreement only with respect to such Collaboration mRNA Constructs, and (a) such Collaboration mRNA Constructs will become Discontinued Product Candidates, (b) the Polypeptide [***] such Collaboration
mRNA Constructs will become a Discontinued Polypeptide and (c) the Research Target [***] such Discontinued Polypeptide will become a Discontinued Research Target unless for such Research Target there is an Optioned Product Candidate [***] a
Development Polypeptide for such Research Target. For clarity, for the purposes of such discontinuance, [***]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such termination under this Section 13.2 will not be effective if such breach has been cured
within [***] days after written notice thereof is given by Moderna to AstraZeneca specifying the nature of the alleged breach (or, if such default cannot be cured within such [***]-day period, such longer
period as reasonably required to cure such breach, provided that AstraZeneca commences actions to cure such default within such [***]-day period and thereafter diligently continues such actions); provided,
that to the extent such material breach involves the failure to make an undisputed payment when due, such breach must be cured within [***] days after written notice thereof is given by Moderna to AstraZeneca. [***] 

13.3    Termination by AstraZeneca. 

(a)    Breach. AstraZeneca will have the right to terminate this A&R Option Agreement in full upon delivery of
written notice to Moderna in the event of any material breach by Moderna of any terms and conditions of this A&R Option Agreement [***], provided, that to the extent that any such breach is limited to a particular Polypeptide (and
Collaboration mRNA Constructs [***] such Polypeptide), AstraZeneca will have the right to terminate this A&R Option Agreement only with respect to such Polypeptide (and Collaboration mRNA Constructs [***] such Polypeptide). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any such termination under this Section 13.3(a) will not be effective if such breach has been cured within [***] days after written notice thereof is given by AstraZeneca to Moderna specifying the nature of the alleged breach (or, if
such default cannot be cured within such [***]-day period, such longer period as reasonably required to cure such breach, provided that Moderna commences actions to cure such default within such [***] period
and thereafter diligently continues such actions); provided, that to the extent such material breach involves the failure to make an undisputed payment when due, such breach must be cured within [***] days after written notice thereof is
given by AstraZeneca to Moderna. [***] 
 (b)    Discretionary Termination. AstraZeneca will have the right to
terminate this A&R Option Agreement in full ninety (90) days after delivery of written notice to Moderna if the Executive Officer of AstraZeneca concludes due to scientific, technical, regulatory or commercial reasons, including [***]. 

13.4    Alternative to Termination Under Section 13.3(a). If AstraZeneca has the right to
terminate this A&R Option Agreement or this A&R Option Agreement with respect to a particular Polypeptide that is [***] an Optioned Product Candidate (or Subject Construct or Product) under Section 13.3(a) (including expiration of all
applicable cure periods thereunder), in lieu of exercising such termination right, AstraZeneca may elect once by written notice to Moderna before the end of such applicable cure period to have this A&R Option Agreement continue in full force and
effect, in which case the following will apply:

 A&R OPTION AGREEMENT 

 

 (a)    Starting immediately after the end of such applicable cure period,
any payments for Contingent Event Option Exercise Payment and Option Exercise Earn-Out payments hereunder payable following such date that AstraZeneca has the right to terminate this A&R Option Agreement
under Section 13.3(a) will be reduced by [***], provided that such reduction will not apply if and to the extent [***]; provided that if such right of termination is limited to a particular Optioned Product, Subject Construct or Product,
then such [***] reduction will apply to such Optioned Product Candidate, Subject Construct or Product and will not apply more generally. 

(b)    The following provisions will cease to apply: [***] of the Product Commercialization Schedule; provided that [***].

 13.5    Effects of Termination or Expiration. Upon termination or expiration of this A&R Option Agreement
for any reason: 
 (a)    The license grants (including Section 3.1) will terminate, other than [***]; 

(b)    Any unpaid Exercise Price attributable to those Optioned Product Candidate (and associated Development Pool
Candidates) will remain due and payable to Moderna, pursuant to the applicable Schedule A; and 

(c)    All unexercised Options will automatically terminate; 

Provided that, in the event that either Party terminates this A&R Option Agreement with respect to a particular Optioned Product Candidate, Subject
Construct or Product, the provisions of Section 6.3 of the Product Commercialization Schedule will apply. 

13.6    Survival. In addition to the termination consequences set forth in Section 13.5, the following
provisions will survive termination or expiration of this A&R Option Agreement: [***]. Termination or expiration of this A&R Option Agreement will not relieve the Parties of any liability or obligation which accrued hereunder prior to the
effective date of such termination or expiration nor preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this A&R Option Agreement nor prejudice either
Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation. All other rights and obligations will terminate upon expiration of this A&R Option Agreement. 

13.7    Integrated Agreements. The Parties acknowledge that the Transaction Agreements, together, constitute an
integrated set of agreements entered into as part of the same transaction that collectively govern the subject matter covered by the Transaction Agreements. Early termination of any one of the Transaction Agreements without the others would
fundamentally alter the intended allocation of rights and obligations intended by the Parties in entering into the Transaction Agreements. Thus, if a Party (or its bankruptcy trustee) has the right to reject any of the Transaction Agreements under
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provision under any other law in any country outside the United States, such Party (or the applicable bankruptcy trustee) will either reject all of the Transaction Agreements or assume all of the Transaction
Agreements, but may not reject one Transaction Agreement without rejecting the others.

may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, and all of which together will be deemed to be one and the same instrument. Facsimile or PDF execution and delivery of this A&R Option Agreement by either
Party will constitute a legal, valid and binding execution and delivery of this A&R Option Agreement by such Party.

meaning of any provision hereof. 
 14.10    Waiver of Rule of Construction. Each Party has had the opportunity

will not apply. 
 14.11    Interpretation. Whenever any provision of this A&R Option Agreement uses the term
“including” (or “includes”), such term will be deemed to mean “including without limitation” (or “includes without limitations”). “Herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,”

requires, whenever used, the singular will include the plural, the plural the singular, the use of any gender will be applicable to all genders and the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense (and/or). Unless otherwise provided, all
references to Sections, Exhibits and Schedules in this A&R Option Agreement are to Sections, Exhibits and Schedules of this A&R Option Agreement. References to any Sections include Sections and subsections that are part of the related
Section (e.g., a section numbered “Section 2.1” would be part of “Section 2”, and references to “Section 2.1” would also refer to material contained in the subsection described
as “Section 2.1(a)”). 
 14.12    Binding Effect. This A&R Option Agreement will inure to
the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties, their Affiliates, and their respective lawful successors and assigns.

assets or that portion of its business pertaining to the subject matter of this A&R Option Agreement, or any Business Combination of such Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party may assign this A&R Option Agreement unless such
assignment also includes an assignment of all of the Transaction Agreements to the same Affiliate or Third Party successor, as applicable. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this A&R Option Agreement will be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties, and the name of a Party appearing herein will be deemed to include the name of such Party’s successors and permitted assigns to the extent necessary to carry out the intent
of this Section 14.13.

 A&R OPTION AGREEMENT 

 

 (ii)    except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Schedule A, the Option Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, the Option Exercise Earn-Out when owed or paid under this Schedule A will be nonrefundable and non-creditable and not subject to set-off; and 

(iii)    except as expressly set forth in Paragraph 2.3(c) (Schedule A), no other Option Exercise Earn-Out credits, reductions or deductions are permitted under this Schedule A. 

2.4    Payment Terms. 

(a)    Manner of Payment. All payments to be made by AstraZeneca to Moderna under this
Schedule A will be made in U.S. dollars. All payments to be made by AstraZeneca to Moderna under this Schedule A will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account as
Moderna may designate by written notice to AstraZeneca. 
 (b)    Reports and Payments. For as long as any Earn-Out payments are due under this Schedule A, AstraZeneca will furnish to Moderna a written report, after the end of each Calendar Quarter, showing the amount of Net Sales due for such
Product, which report will be furnished within [***] days of the end of the Calendar Quarter for which the Earn-Out payments are due. Earn-Out payments for each Calendar
Quarter will be due at the same time as such written reports for the Calendar Quarter. The reports will include, at a minimum, [***]. After receiving such written report, Moderna will submit an invoice to AstraZeneca for all Earn-Out payments, if requested by AstraZeneca (and any request or delivery of any such invoice will not extend the payment deadline specified above). AstraZeneca will provide to Moderna a form invoice for use by
Moderna in issuing any invoice under the Transaction Agreements. 
 (c)    Records and Audits. AstraZeneca will
keep, and will cause each of the other Selling Parties, as applicable, to keep, and Moderna will keep, adequate books and records of accounting for the purpose of calculating all Exercise Price payable by Moderna to AstraZeneca under this
Schedule A and ensuring Moderna’s compliance under this Schedule A. Such books and records will be maintained by AstraZeneca for at least [***] from the date of creation. During the Option
Agreement Term, such books and records of accounting (including those of the other Selling Parties, as applicable) will be kept at each of their principal places of business. At the request of Moderna, AstraZeneca will, and AstraZeneca will cause
each of the other Selling Parties to, permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by Moderna and reasonably acceptable to AstraZeneca, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to
examine the books and records maintained pursuant to this Paragraph 2.4(c) (Schedule A). Such examinations may not (i) be conducted for any calendar year after the end of the Option Agreement Term (except that the books and records relating to
the last year of the Option Agreement Term may be examined for [***] after the end of the Option Agreement Term), (ii) be conducted more than [***] in any [***] period and going back no more than [***] after receipt of the respective invoice and
report or (iii) be repeated for any calendar year. Moderna will provide AstraZeneca with a copy of the accounting firm’s written report within [***] of completion of such report. Except as provided below, the cost of this examination will
be borne by Moderna, unless the audit reveals a variance of more than [***] from the reported amounts for a calendar year, in which case AstraZeneca will bear the reasonable
out-of-pocket cost of the audit,

provided such variance exceeds [***]. Unless disputed as described below, if such audit concludes that additional payments were owed or that excess payments were made during such period,
AstraZeneca will pay the additional amounts or Moderna will reimburse such excess payments, with interest from the date originally due as provided in Paragraph 2.4(f) (Schedule A), within [***] days after the date on which a written report of such
audit is delivered to the Parties. In the event of a dispute regarding such books and records, including the amount owed to Moderna under this Paragraph 2.4(c) (Schedule A), Moderna and AstraZeneca will work in good faith to resolve the
disagreement. If the Parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of any such dispute within [***] days, such dispute will be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 11.1 of the A&R
Services and Collaboration Agreement. The receiving Party will treat all information subject to review under this Paragraph 2.4(c) (Schedule A) in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of Section 11 of the Option Agreement, and
AstraZeneca will cause any accounting firm, auditor or arbitrator to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement with AstraZeneca obligating such firm to retain all such financial information in confidence pursuant to such
confidentiality agreement. Moderna may provide Third Parties to which Moderna owes payments on Products information in such audit report that are relevant and required to comply with such Third Party’s audit rights under the applicable license
agreement between Moderna and such Third Party, provided that such Third Party is obligated to keep such information confidential. 

(d)    Currency Exchange. With respect to Net Sales invoiced in U.S. dollars, the Net Sales and the amounts due to
Moderna under this Schedule A will be expressed in U.S. dollars. With respect to Net Sales invoiced in a currency other than U.S. dollars, payments will be converted from local currency to U.S. dollars by AstraZeneca in
accordance with the rates of exchange for the relevant month for converting such other currency into U.S. dollars used by AstraZeneca’s internal accounting systems, which are independently audited on an annual basis and which are in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, fairly applied and as employed on a consistent basis throughout AstraZeneca’s operations. 

(e)    Blocked Payments. In the event that, by reason of applicable Law in any country, it becomes impossible or
illegal for AstraZeneca (or any other Selling Party) to transfer, or have transferred on its behalf, payments owed Moderna under this Schedule A, AstraZeneca will promptly notify Moderna of the conditions preventing such
transfer and such payments will be deposited in local currency in the relevant country to the credit of Moderna in a recognized banking institution designated by Moderna or, if none is designated by Moderna within a period of [***] days, in a
recognized banking institution selected by AstraZeneca or another Selling Party, as the case may be, and identified in a written notice given to Moderna. 

(f)    Interest Due. If any payment due to either Party under this Schedule A is overdue
(and is not subject to a good faith dispute), then such paying Party will pay interest thereon [***] at an annual rate [***] of the lesser of (i) [***] and (ii) [***], such interest to run from the date upon which payment of such sum became due
until payment thereof in full together with such interest.

 2.5    Mutual Convenience of the Parties. The Exercise Price
payment obligations set forth under this Schedule A have been agreed to by the Parties for the purpose of reflecting and advancing their mutual convenience, including the ease of calculating and paying amounts to Moderna.
AstraZeneca hereby stipulates to the fairness and reasonableness of such payments obligations and covenants not to allege or assert, nor to allow any of its Sublicensees or Affiliates to allege or assert, nor further to cause or support any other
Third Parties to allege or assert, that any such payments obligations are unenforceable or illegal in any way.
